Is the Shure MV7+ Better Than the SM7B?

I have a confession. I've been recommending the Shure MV7+ without actually ever using it. SO today, I've decided to change that.

I put the Shure MV7+ to the test, seeing how it sounds using both USB-C, XLR, and comparing it directly to my primary (and favorite) mic, the Shure SM7B.

Is the the difference in price worth it? How does each mic handle tapping/vibrations, plosives, and sibilance? Let's find out!
